Tried multiple Vimeo URLs and all the same




Running on Amazon EC2 with: ebs/ubuntu-images/ubuntu-natty-11.04-i386-server-20111003

When I run it in my OSX Terminal locally with the previous version it works fine for Vimeo. Once I ran youtube-dl -U on the mac, then it fails the same way. Is there a way to downgrade?

Oops, we really need automated tests to keep me from commiting broken code. Fixed in 2011.11.23 - running youtube-dl -U again should fix the problem.

By the way, if your URL contains ampersands or other strange characters, put it into quotes, as in

youtube-dl 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iG8UAHIuHeI&feature=feedrec_grec_index'
